I always figured that IDW did Transformers Classics so they could print the issues they weren't able to when they did Classic Transformers.

Everything I say is OK To Print, Even the Bad Stuff.
"The ongoing had Spike. What need have it of interesting character driven moments between the robots?" = Urzu Six
"And lo, Jesus said unto the moneylenders, 'Give me your face!'" = Kirjava

I was just assuming the whole run was being reprinted. I don't see much of a reason to stop since there were issues in the later part of the run that weren't reprinted in the original Classics TPB series. Not to mention, most people probably don't want half a run in one format and half a run in another, although maybe not everyone is as anal retentive as me.

After the first couple releases of the original Classic trades, I stopped getting them because they didn't include everything. I'm sure IDW will complete the set as it has not only includes all of the material, but has been marketed as "remastered and recoloured."

IDW will be printing more Classics volumes, containing all the US and UK run... and hopefully they'll finally get around to G2 as well.

Some ideas to improve the comic: One: Drift needs to be louder, angrier, and have access to a time machine. Two: whenever Drift's not in an issue, all the other characters should be asking "Where's Drift"?
